Did you know that whitening your teeth is the easiest cosmetic procedure to make you appear from youthful?

I’m a believer in Whitestrips and so is my husband. In fact, I often have to raid his stash when I am running low. Here’s a link to all the different kinds of strips that Crest makes so click away and start saving. Crest Whitestrips

Now the best way to keep that smile bright is the old-fashioned way: a good brushing.

I’ve found nothing beats a great power-rechargeable toothbrush. After using them for years myself now as a parent, they are the best way to encourage my children to brush as well. There is no way to get a better cleaning than using one of these great products by Oral-B. Oral-B Toothbrushes

Then here are a few things I’d love to find in my stocking — or I just need to stock up on for myself.

When you are a woman-of-a-certain age, firming up those sag-prone areas, smoothing skins surface and restoring elasticity is a daily skin care ritual. Nothing feels better or helps your skin look more youthful than a deep rich cleaner and moisturizer like these products from Olay.

These links have a save $5 coupon. Being beautiful doesn’t mean you can’t be shopping savvy. (To my husband reading this — I know you are laughing.)

And here’s a confession. There is nothing that irritates me more than needing a battery and finding my children have raided my stash.

Nothing more frustrating than having the remote conk out or have my camera or tape recorder die and finding NO BATTERIES. Okay finding no coffee in the morning might eek at bit ahead but I am a little obsessive about having batteries on hand.

So why no stock up on Duracells? Those little trusted cooper-topped soldiers.
